As you have read my LJ, I am sure you know that I am no fan of Bush Jr.
We do know that even before they were elected, the neo-cons wanted to go into Iraq. Bush Jr probably wanted to go since Hussein was the bad man who went after his daddy. If they had gone into Iraq rather than Afgranistan after 911, then I would say there is some credance to your theory. Afganistan has nothing in the way of resources that the US needs, and there is no reason to go there other than to take out the Taliban. Iraq, on the other hand, has lots of oil, which the US needs.
I do agree about "Ozzy" bin Hiding...I am sure they could get Pakistan to cough him up at any time they want...probably just before the next presidential election.
